Surnames, U.S. immigration, 1898
Friday on the way home: the first line of the note is Surnames; 1898 and 1898 sit under it. Read “U.S. immigration” once at the table. At one name, the week’s work for Surnames is those three lines. Put U.S. immigration and 1898 before 1898.
Surnames is “U.S. immigration” in 1898, and the figure kept beside it is 1898. This week, look at one name only, and choose either the rule or the use, not both. Do not mix sound and sense in one cell. Keep only the side you chose today. Usually the opposite: personal names are ancient; frozen hereditary surnames spread later and unevenly. At the table, open Surnames so the note shows 1898 first, 1898 next, and “U.S. immigration” beside them.
This week, when you write a name, put that entry’s year and figure beside it, and add only one line for the sense. Read that one line to the family, and do not say a rank. The order is Surnames, 1898, 1898, then “U.S. immigration”. When one name is done, look again only at 1898 for Surnames and leave 1898 on the note.
Do not line names up by fashion, and do not score someone else’s name. Check that the name on the note and the sound you said match, and write the line again if they do not.

Surnames is “U.S. immigration” in 1898, and the figure kept beside it is 1898.
